Retrieving Data From Database To JTable

Question

I'm new to JTable and i'm not sure how do i retrieve the data and put it inside the JTable.
As from previous example i found on the net, i've tried to incorporate the database but i get various error.
Here is the sample of the code.
Object data[];
        String[] columnNames = {"First Name",
                                "Last Name",
                                "Sport",
                                "# of Years",
                                "Vegetarian"};
          String sqlQuery = ("Select * From Sales_Transaction");
          try{
               rs = stmt.executeQuery(sqlQuery);
               while(rs.next()){
        data[] = {
            {rs.getString(1),rs.getString(1),
             rs.getString(1), rs.getString(1), rs.getString(1)},
          }catch(SQLException sqlex){
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"LOL");
        final JTable table = new JTable(data, columnNames);Any help is appreciated, have been researching hi and low for guides.

data[] = { {rs.getString(1), rs.getString(1), rs.getString(1), rs.getString(1), rs.getString(1)} };Not sure what you expect that to do, you are adding the same value to the array 4 times.
Don't use arrays when dealing with dynamic data, you don't know the proper size to make the arry. Use a Vector which can grow with each row or column of data. Something like this:
